The Little Garden
By: Mangumpig, NJ
Welcome
everyone! as you enter to my beautiful little
garden, you can gathered more information about
plants. Please bring a journal for you to write the
important information that will help you in your studies.
Enjoy and have fun! 
Plants
A living organism of the kind exemplified
by trees, shrubs, herbs, grasses, ferns, and
mosses,
typically growing in a permanent site.

Reproduction in Plants
Plants grow in different parts of the world. They vary in size from simple algae to
giant trees. Plants are living things. So they have the characteristics of living things.
They can make
their own
food.
They can
reproduce.

plant reproduce.
Parts of the flower
Most plants grow from seeds. A seed contains the embryo of a young plant . If
you germinate a seed in the soil, it is likely to grow if it gets enough water,
sunlight and air.

The Work Of Pollination
Pollen grains cannot move by themselves. The pollen is a very
fine powder produced by flowers. They can be transferred from
the stamen to the pistil.
Pollination
Cross-Pollination
Self-Pollination
Fertilization in Flowers
The union of egg cell and a sperm
cell is called Fertilization .
The female egg cell and the
male egg cell join together to
form a fertilized egg called
Zygote.
Parts of the flower that becomes a Fruit
As the fruit develops, different parts of the flower
change. The petals and sepals change as they
begin to wilt. They fall off. The ovary grows big
and ripens. A ripened ovary is the Fruit. The fruit
surrounds or covers the seed
Part of the flower that becomes Seed
The pollen grain grows a threadlike tube which
goes through the style, down to the ovary. As the
tube reaches the ovary , it enters on of the ovules.
This is the process of fertilization in a flower. The
fertilized egg in the ovule develops into Seed.
Pollination results in fertilization inside the flower.
As a result, a seed is formed. This seed will
germinate into a new plant later on. This process of
producing a new plant from a seed by fertilization
is called Sexual Reproduction.

each part

Properties of fruit and seeds that help
in Dispersal
Plants need to disperse their seed s away from themselves to stop
overcrowding and to create new colonies. Nearly all seeds are
produce within ‘fruits ‘. These fruits enables seeds to be dispersed
in a variety of ways . Click on a dispersal method to see how this
happen.

Growing plants by Asexual
Reproduction
Plants may be propagated without planting their
seeds Propagation is the production of a new
plants using some parts of the mother plant. This
is called Asexual Reproduction.
Runners
Bulbs
Rhizomes
Tubers
Storage
Roots
Propagating Plants Asexually
New plants can also be propagated by
artificial means. Farmers use them to
produce plants. They make the plants grow
faster and improve their quality.
Grafting
Cuttings
Marcotting
Layering
